Plain Facts for the Consideration OF Own"
ers of Milk Cows.
Are your stables for your cows warm
and we'll ventilated, so as to be both
comfortable and sweet? If not, set to
work at once to make them so, for in
this YOU will find true economy-both
a saving of food and an increased pro-
duet, if You are making butter or
cheese, or simply peddling milk. But
do not seek to secure warmth by the
close confinement of YOUR COWS. There
must be a free circulation OF air in
order to secure the good health of the
COWS and a sweet-flavored product.
If with good ventilation, letting
the air in at the head of the
COWS and out at the rear, you can
not keep up the required temperature,
then resort to artificial heating. twill
paw. Once the arrangements are made
for heating, the expense will be COM
parativelv small, as high temperature
will not be required. The range Of
temperature for health and comfort is
about fifteen degrees-that is, from
forty-fve to sixty degrees Fahr. Be-
low this, cows standing in the stall will
begin to shiver and feel uncomfortable;
above, discomfort follows and they will
begin to pant. 1t is much cheaper to
burn fuel in a heater than food in the
cow to keep up the animal heat

"mess" is broken up the animals contract
colds and other diseases. Ii the bodies
and habits were like those of sheep, cattle,
and horses, they might suffer more from
cold, but not more from lack of shelter.
Besides the bodies OF other farm animals
have warmer coverings to retain the animal
heat and prevent rapid chilling.
The conditions which make 1t important
to shelter swine make it difficult to shelter
them properly. If the hogs shelter is as
warm as that of other animals he will get
oyerheated. Unless, therefore, he Is
isolated, he needs no litter IN his shelter.
Again, because of his large proportion of
fat, "A greater amount of carbonic acid gas
and other offensive matter is thrown off
through his breath and other channels,
and, therefore, his shelters need better
ventilation. Besides this, swine spend
more time in their shelters than other
animals, hence are most injured If these
are dark, and yet the hog shelter is the
last one TO be lighted. To make II warm,
all air and light are both shut out.
To remedy these evils 10 easy enough.
Glass costing but tritle on the south
side will admit light. 1t is easy to make
the shelter not too warm. Ventilation Is
secured by holes gust under the caves
where no rain or snow can enter.
Hogs suffer greatly when they are both
cold and wet. If dry they will endure a
low temperature with little discomfort.
Hence the roof is the most important part
of the shelter. II must be close, no matter
how open are the sides. If the hogs have
a good roof to lie under ON some steep
soathern hillside they will get along very
well with that alone, providing ridge of
earth is thrown up along the upper side to
protect them from wind and surface water.
But of course they should have better
quarters.
My fayorite hog shelter is a thing of
cheapness rather than beauty. 1t is made
of logs or large poles, built up four feet
high, and notched to prevent rolling. The
cracks are chiuked close up to a height of
three feet-this Is high enough to ward off
direct currents and the cracks above this
are left open for ventilation. A good roof
of boards or straw is put on. The shelter
Is built on southern slope, and door
way is cut in the south side. A shallow
ditch Is cut around the upper side and the
dirt from II thrown against the log. his
Is the best as we'll as the cheapest swine

Don't think the COW will be your friend
unless you are her friend.
Don't imagine you can strain manure
out OF the milk; keep them separate and
save trouble.
Don't wait until the COW calves before

herself, and save more trouble.
Don't breed to any but pure-b bred bulls;
even G3-6 tbs. Better have the Glth, then
the forthcoming calf will please you.
Don't think because cows viii drink out
of n mud puddle it is good enough for
them.
Don't drive them from the pasture with a
dog; 1t saves time but wastes milk and COW.
Feed some meal at night and they will
drive themselves.
Don't set your milk in shallow pans or
crooks; get portable creamery, or, If you
can't afford that Just yet, have some deep,

Last season Prof. Cook, of the Michigan
Agricultural College. visited Ohio, New
York, and Wisconsin, and attended
farmers meetings, and did his best To
acqUalnt himself with the best practice and
experience as to the silo. lie was sur
prised at the unanlmity of opinion among
those who had used silage. Every man
Was enthusiastic IN It's praise. Nc one was
tearing hls sIlO down, but many were
building more. According to the best in
formation he cleaned during his visit, he
concludes that a sIlo can be made very
cheoply right in the barn. We have only
10 make large double walled box, using
tarred building paper, that it may be prae-
ucally tight. Two by ten lolsls are
used, SO that the walls are ten inches apart
The bottom Is grouted, anditis thoroughly
drained II necessary, against water. The
door is double, and made IN horizontal
sections, SO it can be opened gradually
from the top. 1t is easier and cheaper to
rake the sIlage Mt time of feeding from the
top than 10 cut down. The fayorlta size Is
about fifteen feet in each of the three
dimensions. 1t is better he thinks, to
have two or three small sIlos than one large
one. The corn for the silo should be cut,
ears and all, into inch lengths, and not put
too rapidly into the silo. 1t Is best to fill
one day, then rest day, and so on. When
filling, the cut corn should be trodden
about the edge and corners, and when full
the building paper should be laid over the
top and extend so as to pass up little at
the walls or sides: then all covered by
boards and weighted by grain or hay. 1t
is believed that the very sweetest and best
silage Is thus secured in the easiest and
cheapest manner, with the minimum rush
and labor.

1t has been for many years n disputed
question whether level or nil culture was
better for growing crops, but as there are
so many differences in soils, while the
modes required for crops of ali kinds are
unlike, the experience of each farmer on
his own soil can alone decide the matter.
/ The fact IS that under certain conditions
either mode may bo better than the other.
On soils that are damp. with subsoils COM
posed of stiff clay the billing system may
perhaps be preterable; but where the soil
IS we'll uuderdraiued. or the ground rolling,
the level system may be more suitable.
/ Cultivation OF tie soil Is intended not only
10 clear Oft The GRASS and weeds, but also
TO assist the growing plants to obtain and
retain the greatest amount OF heat and
moisture, as well rs to afford more feed TO
the roots. Something also depends uIon
the kind of manure and fertilizer used, and
upon the quantity applied. In an expert
meut tried by an agricultural journal, pOta-
toes We're grown at the rate of one thousand
! bushels per acre, but the fertilizer used
was III sufficient quantity to supply all the
requirements Of the crop. The level cul-
tiyaion was practiced in growing the crop,
and ii 5 probable that a complete failure
would have been the result had the killing
system teen followed, for the reason that
in order to dissolve so large m amount OF
/ mineral fertilizer plenty Of moisture was
necessary. which was retained 10y the field
being level. BY cuIuyanny the entire sur
face the tine earth served as a covering, or
mulch, thereby preventing evaporation, as
capillary attraction drew the moisture up
from below, the connection, however, be-
ing broken where the soil was stirred. Hill
cultivation would not only have required
the hoe to a certain extent, but would have
caused the exposure of larger surface to
the air, producing create evaporation.
Corn growers are aware that the roots Of
growing corn extend in every direction,
and for this reason many farmers check
their corn in the rows and cultivate IN both
directions, the desire being not to stir the
soil deeply, but to keep the surface fine.
But on stiff, wet soils hill cultivation IS
/ sometimes necessary, or the young corn
VIII be injured from heavy rains. All soils
that have been we'll tIlled with drain tiles
viii permit of level culture, as the most
tenacious soils are pulverized by the air
and heat if well drained. No rule, how
ever, can be laid down for all to follow, as
hill or level culture depends entirely upon
circumstances
